As the forums are as dead as ScrollQuest these days, I was plunking around looking for other hunts. I noticed there was a forum in 'Other Hunts' for the Voynich manuscript. That thing is arguably a hoax, but an old one, and a mystery nonetheless.
But it got me wondering about Kryptos. Like Voynich, Kryptos is great unsolved code/puzzle. The only prize is guaranteed fame (for 15 minutes, at least!). It is real, and it is not a hoax. The Kryptos has bested the best cryptographic minds on the planet for the last decade and a half.
Three out of four sections of the Kryptos statue have been decoded. One section remains, but the creator of the Kryptos says once the final section is solved, you will be right back at the beginning. This spring, a correction to the solution of the third section brought the Kryptos statue into the national spotlight once gain for a short while.
I have seen Twelevers solve puzzles more difficult than those in the first three sections of the Kryptos. This is not beyond the talent of this group. My questions are, is this something of interest to Tweleve, and might we want to start a new forum on the topic?
